A satirical laugh

A satirical laugh

 

On an early morning walk

for free air, without mask

while none on the road

with thoughts overload

on the pandemic display

to mankind’s utter dismay..

Trollies turned upside down

cabins. all ruined over the town

vendors and customers together

deserted them, forced by the order

imposed to deter CORONA’s spread.

with many more lock downs ahead.

Lost they their sources of income

to insanity, they are sure to succumb

Sighed I at those owners’ fate

“ They may be starving on the date

or seeking doles or loans to pull on.”

All around, prevails only frustration.

Parents disown their infected offspring.

Offspring part infected parents, the suffering

Death toll is mounting alarmingly high

Rich or poor, on cast creed none can fight shy.

Dead corpses of dear ones, knows none

A sick dies on the search for hospitalization

None can breathe free air gifted by Lord

neither one can move on one’s ow accord

The Pandemic is the monster,

the root cause behind the horror.

Me, the thoughts so propelled

thus to the lord, a prayer I yelled

to kill the pandemic monster

it, early the man must conquer

To Lord loud was my prayer

“Erase the pandemic, it, never spare.”

Cachinnated a devilish figure

from behind the darkness cover

“Ha Ha your blame is uncalled for

your Lord only settles the score

Evil practices for sinful gain

the doers are cursed with the bane

Their practices here are not just

affecting the life on the earth crust

Here on these platforms sacred

adopt they practices corrupted

adulterations, even mixing poison

they greedily earn without hesitation.

Punishment to them was overdue

Thus came the dreadful corona flue.

To my quarry, the second

on the honesty in foreign land

“In similar deeds, they do err, never

then why do still they suffer?”

Replied it with a sarcastic laugh of thunder

“The earth treasures they plunder

environmental degradation, they boot

disturb His symphony with their loot.

killing the future generation

before they see the light of sun.”

You instantly see my effect

pollution to environ is checked

At Mumbai cast dolphins play

Jamuna is water is clear, people say.

To punush the man for deeds evil

incarnated in me, Lord as the devil

to dent in man the basic wisdom

to remain in symphony with His system.
